An Ethiopian Feast: Ground Beef Stew, Collard Greens, and Teff Flatbread (Minchet Abish, Ye’basha Gomen, and Ingera)

May 20, 2016 by Faith 15 Comments

This Ethiopian Feast is comprised of Ground Beef Stew, Collard Greens, and Teff Flatbread (Minchet Abish, Ye’basha Gomen, and Ingera), and it’s the perfect meal when you want something a little different from the ordinary.

One of the things I enjoy most about living in the DC area is the cultural diversity, which of course translates into easy access to a variety of different cuisines. Mike and I were already fans of international foods (Thai, Indian, and Middle Eastern are some of our favorites), but since moving here, our culinary world has been expanded even more.…

Orange Chiffon Layer Cake with Almond-Orange Italian Meringue Buttercream

March 21, 2016 by Faith 19 Comments

Orange Chiffon Layer Cake with Almond-Orange Italian Meringue Buttercream has a light and springy, yet moist and tender crumb, and the cake’s lightness is balanced perfectly by the buttercream’s richness. Growing up, my mom made orange chiffon cake in the shape of a lamb every single Easter. It was frosted with vanilla buttercream and coated in coconut, and she used black jelly beans for the eyes. If I remember correctly, a few years she even dyed coconut green so the little lamb could rest on a bed of grass, and also placed a few robin’s egg candies around for color. It was beautiful; an heirloom […]...

Savory Oatmeal Breakfast Bowls with Smoky Garlic Greens and Chipotle-Honey Vinaigrette

January 18, 2016 by Faith 14 Comments

Savory Oatmeal Breakfast Bowls with Smoky Garlic Greens and Chipotle-Honey Vinaigrette is a delicious way to get in a serving of whole grains and vegetables early in the day! I’m really not fussy about my oats. I’ll take them just about any way I can get them: savory or sweet, whipped, steel-cut, made into granola, baked into muffins, and of course in cookie form. But one day I stumbled on a way of making oats that was a bit of a revelation for me....

We all know not to judge a book by its cover. I think that same adage should wholeheartedly be applied to food....

Tri-Color Quinoa, White Bean, and Bell Pepper Salad {And a $50 Bob’s Red Mill Gift Card Giveaway}

April 30, 2014 by Faith 117 Comments

When I don’t feel like cooking and I ask Mike to cook for us, we inevitably end up with one of two things for dinner: eggs or foul m’demmas (an Egyptian dish of mashed fava beans with garlic, tomato, parsley, cumin, lemon, and olive oil). Now, I love eggs in all their incarnations, and Egyptian food is always a favorite. But sometimes I wish the hubby would whip up something different, like, oh I don’t know, say a roast chicken with gravy or beef bourguignon. (Wishful thinking, right?)...

Garlicky Red Quinoa Patties with Mango Black Bean Salsa

March 24, 2014 by Faith 11 Comments

One of the perks of living in Florida is that when fruit trees bear fruit, people suddenly have more than they know what do with, and the wealth inevitably gets shared. I remember waking up to a huge box of mangos on my front porch one morning when I lived there during law school… One of my friend’s parents’ had a mango tree in their backyard (along with a grapefruit tree, those lucky ducks) and I was absolutely certain the fruit was from her family (who also frequently dropped off oranges and avocados that they got from a friend who also had fruit trees)....

Mujaddara Burghul (And a HUGE Giveaway of My Cookbook + Prize Packs From Bob’s Red Mill!)

October 31, 2012 by Faith 15 Comments

Photo (taken by yours truly) of Mujaddara Burghul from my cookbook, An Edible Mosaic: Middle Eastern Fare with Extraordinary Flair. If you’re curious about Middle Eastern food and looking for a good recipe to start with, Mujaddara Burghul, otherwise known as Lentil & Bulgur Wheat Pilaf with Caramelized Onion, is the perfect dish. It’s very healthy with lentils and whole-grain bulgur wheat as its main ingredients. (Since it’s a vegetarian meal, it’s easy on the wallet too!) It couldn’t be simpler to make…if making rice intimidates you, know that bulgur is much more forgiving than rice. And with caramelized onion and the perfect blend of spices, it’s […]...

Homemade Hearty Almond-Vanilla Cereal {And a Big Bob’s Red Mill & Attune Foods Giveaway!}

May 23, 2012 by Faith 103 Comments

I make granola frequently and I’ve shared a couple recipes for it (this Pumpkin Spice version is one of my favs when autumn is in the air and even when it’s not), but I’ve never tried my hand at homemade cereal before. (You know, the flake kind.) Until now. I found a recipe on Mr Breakfast for Nutty Bran Flakes and I was immediately inspired. (Obsessed is probably a better word, lol.) I knew I had to make my own version....

Vanilla-Berry Whole Wheat Couscous Breakfast Pilaf {And a Bob’s Red Mill Giveaway!}

April 2, 2012 by Faith 149 Comments

When we’re on vacation Mike has an anti-cell phone policy – he likes us to leave our phones in the hotel room when we leave in the morning. His idea is that not only does this give us a nice little break from work, but it also lets us focus on having fun and spending time together. Yup, my hubby is thoughtful like that. But what happens when people email me and I have urgent business to attend to? ;) (Not to mention when people email Mike, which actually is urgent…sometimes.)...
